Conor Daly speaks about the Canadian Grand Prix and the Indianapolis 500 schedule

Conor Daly recently called out the Formula One series for scheduling the Canadian Grand Prix on the same day as the Indianapolis 500. Several drivers have criticized the organization for the same.

The Monaco Grand Prix and the Indianapolis 500 took place on the same day every year. The Canadian Grand Prix is scheduled on the same day as the Indy 500; the Formula One race will begin halfway through the Indy 500, as the Canadian Grand Prix begins at 2PM.

While talking on the podcast SpeedStreet, Conor Daly spoke about the issue and said he couldn't understand why the Grand Prix was scheduled in such a manner. He said,

"This is the most arrogant of a shot you can take at just motorsport, in general, and motorsport fans... This is such a disrespectful move to those that just enjoy motorsport. Like why would you do that?"

"This is a direct shot at us. It's almost like a declaration of war. Like this is crazy. I love going to the Canadian GP, think it's a great event, and I used to go all the time. I raced Formula Ford and 1600 at the Canadian GP when I was 15. I thought it was awesome. But it's just not necessary. When you talk about they're doing it for sustainability or whatever, it's not. It's literally to just try to flex." He added.

Besides Conor Daly, Scott McLaughlin has also spoken out about the same issue and he dubbed the move as 'single-handedly ruining Motorsport Xmas'.
